The connections blow my mind. You have written so much about my maternal grandmother's cousin, Bernhard Lewitt, and now I see the informant for the death for Leo Lewin in Theresienstadt was my paternal great-aunt Elise (Ly) Eisfelder, who somehow survived three years in that place. But it broke her health and she died in Berlin in 1948, aged just 62.
Amazing to see how much of the almost 9 year gap between postcards can be filled with records. Everything that happened between that time! Including war ending and marriage. Also interesting to learn more about Amsterdam during that time…
